Sadly, it’s because the farmers and agricultural sector will fight tooth and nail to prevent any subsidies from going away. Plus, the average consumer is going to notice the increased price of food and is likely to vote in a reactionary way. I don’t wish to be a pessimist but I don’t see how such a necessary but unpopular thing could be passed in the political landscape today. On a bright note though, I remember the Beef Association (or something along those lines) were protesting against meat substitutes being sold alongside real meat in the same refrigerator. They seem to have at least lost that battle at the chain grocery stores.
